Lab Results
Sometimes your doctor needs to take a sample of blood or urine either to discover what is wrong with you or to measure something in your blood so that the right medication is given to you. These tests could be anything from blood sugar to a full blood count or a sample of tissue to test for cancer.
While urine can generally be tested in the surgery, blood and other specimens are usually sent away for testing at a laboratory. Most results come back within 48 hours unless a very rare test is needed which has to go to a specialist lab further away when it might take a little longer.
Please ensure contact details (phone number, email address) are up-to-date, with Reception during your visit to ensure that we can contact you regarding any abnormal test findings.
We do not, as a matter of routine, inform normal test results. Please contact our nurse if you are concerned and have not heard back regarding your recent test/s.
Due to privacy concerns, we are not in a position to discuss test results with anyone who is not the patient in question or legal guardian.
